The four-seater hardtop sat on the aluminum cockpit surround, raised from the
shroud to wheelarch height,  but the two seater hardtop sat directly on the
rear deck which was below wheelarch level.

Therefore the aluminum lower rail of the four-seater hardtop rises up over the
wheelarch and continues dead level around the back to the other side. The two
seater hardtop lower aluminum rail rises up over the wheelarch but then drops
back down an inch or so to the level of the rear deck.

This makes the plexi rear window deeper on the two-seater.  Other points of
difference are the thick chromed-steel tabs that take the J-hooks are much
longer (3.5") on the two-seater.  The chromed J-hooks themselves are straight
on the 2-seater, but are bent at the threads on the four. The rubber sealing
strip is also different.

Best regards
Peter
